as the title states...
I’m looking form something good enough for drag that would be able to stop a 800whp 94-99 body. I am looking into the Ksport front and rears and would like to use 16-17inch rims, however i need to know if there will be enough stopping power and has anyone incorporated a way to get the e-brake to work. my options for 16 inch rims are the 11 or 12 inch kit. if i wanted to go to 15 inch rims i would have to use the 11 inch kit. But I dont know what the stock sized rotors are and if i can get away with the 11 inch kit and run 16 inch rims and there be enough stopping power i would go for it. so my questions are: which of the two kits would be enough to stop my car? what are the dimensions of the stock rotors?

sorry another question. do i need the ST205 rotor as well or can i just run the stock one? you need ST205 disc and calipers, since I know the question will come up later ST205 calieprs use the same brake pads as Supra TT brakes, and same rebuilt kit, so those parts are available within US. also, wilwood brakes have been known to need weird offset in order to fit behind wheels, so make sure you can source wheels with the needed offset before you buy them. since you have some fabrication skills, you would wanna take a look at ST205 brakes in the front as well, it's a 4 piston system front 2 piston rear, it wouldn't throw away the bias thus no need for adjustable prportioning valves. in order to use the fronts there is a little bit more work involve than the rears. but I'd say it doable -------------------- |

I dont think i like the stock ST205 fronts and may just do the wilwood fronts and ST205 rears. I will price a set of used calipers and a rebuild kit vs new to see if its worth the rebuild. Ill also have to find out which offset i need to run the wilwood fronts. I really like the 17 Enkei RPF1's even if i have to run a small spacer with extended ARP studs. The rear ST205 rotors i might buy new from toyota unless i can find a set new on ebay that work. |
